This little post is for Amy over at Great Cakes Soapworks and her mini challenge to combine MP and CP soap.

I do make two soaps that are a mix of CP and MP soap…probably not how most people imagined mixing them. I embed MP pieces on top of a CP loaf. My Black Raspberry and Vanilla soap and my Strawberries and Champagne soap I embed raspberries and strawberries on top. I used to make them in CP but I have only one mold for these embeds and I was having to make the embeds over a whole week of soap making to gt enough to embed. It wasn’t working well…that’s when I decided to try making them with MP soap and see how they worked. I must say it worked like a charm. I love these soaps. They’re different and mimic their name and I constantly get compliments on them. I just restocked on them as I’m running low. Here they are:

Make bath time extra fun! Embed an eraser into your bar of soap! You can put it a clear/see through (transparent) base so the kids can see that there is a surprise in there they can work towards! Or you can embed it in opaque soap so it’s a complete surprise when they start to see the eraser!

Last night I was restless. I could sit still long enough to read. I couldn’t focus on tv. I had already cleaned my place and done laundry…and it was too early to go to bed…so what did I do? Made a batch of Springtime Honeysuckle M&P Shea Butter soap!

I am READY for Spring to arrive. I blame the 50 degree weather we had yesterday. It made me restless to be outside again (and it reminded me how nice it is to not be freezing my tail off!)

Here are my springtime soap bars created from last nights restlessness! Enjoy!
